You live and work in the tension of two stories.
The first is the one you tell about your life today. Who you are. What you do. And why you do it.
The second is the one you tell about your life tomorrow. Who you will be. What you will be doing. And why it matters.
For many, the gravitational pull of today’s story is too great. They never escape it. They never break free.
Tomorrow’s story becomes a drug used to escape today’s reality.
What story are you telling about your life today? And what story are you telling about tomorrow?
Which one are you willing to sacrifice? And is the other story worth that sacrifice?
The narrative I hope you take away from this short post is this: You choose your story.
But you can only pick one.
